Your scarecrow looks fantastic! He is truly creepy (Jeepers Creepers!) and I love how realistic his hands are. Wonderful job!

how was the face done?

how was the face done?

I just used a styrofoam head from a beauty supply store. Stapled sponge foam(like egg crate foam) around the head tothicken it up because it was a smaller head, used a mish mash of various materials( whatever I had laying around) to bring out the facial fetures like the nose, chin, mouth, and wrapped it in burlap strips. Kind of an experiment really.

If I were to chance upon that I would be worried it would jump off and GET me! LOVE the work on the hands!

I know this thread has been quiet for quite some time, but I just love your scarecrow, and just came across it. Would you be willing to share the proportions you used on the PVC frame? I tried making a frame once before and it didn't have nearly the realistic proportions that yours does. Thank you in advance!

That is just too cool! Great stuff!

He's a beauty! I'm going to try to make a scarecrow myself, and this was very helpful. I love the hands and face. And its sheer size is imposing all by itself.

HAHAHAH....Thanks. AllI did for the size scaling of it is basically modeled it from my body size. I'm 5'10".All I did to measure myself was measure my torso, upper/lower arms, thigh/lower legs with just a tape measure and just factor in elbow and knee joints(couple inches). He ended up being,after all put together, an inch or so taller than me. Just a matter of guess-timating. Hope this helps.

Very very creepy! He's sure to give your TOTs the willies!!!

I'll tell you what I love about it... The grip of the hands on the 4x4 post. Finally someone nails the look of a hand gripping object realistically. Gives me inspiration for basic posable hand armature

I learned a lot from this thread last year. Thanks again, Teabags.

Thanks everyone, I create by trial and error!

What a brilliant prop. So life like.

 

[Sublime Nightmare]

Great hand tutorial. Thanks I've been needing an easy way to make hands.

[LeeAction]

Do you have tips on how you made the face?
Where did u get that hat?

 

[jackpot]

I need to get one of these made for my yard. Fantastic scarecrow!

 

[HalloweenDan]

Looks great!

 

[VooDoo Von Shrunkenhead]

I love everything about this scarecrow. One thing i would do is dirty it up a bit. It looks to clean.
